What's Next?

I'm at a point in my project where I'm not really sure what to do next. I did pretty much as much as I possibly can with my proposal. I did email one woman that I found on the Sea Grant: Marine Careers website, I have not yet recieved a response. I am now trying to look for other people from some of my websites that I might possibly contact and try to ask them a few questions. Other than that I really can't do much with this because my project is long term. A lot of the things that we are being asked to do are about right now. My project is something that wouldn't unfold for months and years down the line. Besides reading more and looking for "expert" I really am at a bit of a stand still in my project.
